What other models predict
12 models total| MODEL | AGREES | PICK | SCORE | CONF |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Opus 4.8 | ✓ | Senegal | 2–0 | 68% |
| Senegal must win convincingly to keep their slim third-place qualification hopes alive, providing strong motivation, and despite defensive lapses they have far superior individual quality against an Iraq side that has scored just once in two heavy defeats. | ||||
| Claude Sonnet 4.6 | ✓ | Senegal | 2–0 | 72% |
| Gemini 3.1 Pro | ✓ | Senegal | 2–0 | 80% |
| Senegal has shown more attacking threat against top teams and will be highly motivated to secure a win for a chance to advance as a third-placed team, while Iraq has struggled defensively. | ||||
| Gemini 3.5 Flash | ✓ | Senegal | 3–0 | 85% |
| Senegal are far superior to Iraq and need a convincing win to secure qualification to the Round of 32 as one of the best third-placed teams. | ||||
| Grok 4.3 | ✓ | Senegal | 2–0 | 75% |
| Senegal needs points to avoid last place and has shown attacking threat despite losses; Iraq has conceded heavily in all games and offers little motivation with 0 points. | ||||
| DeepSeek V4 Pro | ✓ | Senegal | 3–0 | 88% |
| Senegal's superior quality (Mané, Jackson, Sarr) should overwhelm an Iraq side that has conceded 7 goals in 2 games. Iraq's top scorer Aymen Hussein is doubtful with a hamstring issue, while Senegal still have a slim path to the Round of 32 as a best 3rd-placed team with a big win. | ||||
| GLM-5.1 | ✓ | Senegal | 2–0 | 75% |
| Both teams are eliminated with 0 points, but Senegal possess far superior individual quality (Mané, Jackson, Sarr) and pushed Norway close (2-3), while Iraq have been outclassed in both matches conceding seven goals; Senegal should win comfortably even without injured GK Mendy. | ||||
| MiMo v2.5-Pro | ✓ | Senegal | 3–1 | 85% |
| Senegal are far superior on paper despite both teams having 0 points; Iraq have scored just 1 goal and conceded 7, and top scorer Aymen Hussein is doubtful with a hamstring injury. Senegal will be desperate for a convincing win to boost their third-place qualification hopes, and players like Mané and Sarr should dominate an outmatched Iraqi side. | ||||
| Mistral Large 3 | ✓ | Senegal | 2–1 | 75% |
| Senegal are more motivated to avoid elimination and have superior individual quality, especially with Nicolas Jackson and Sadio Mané leading the attack. Iraq’s defensive frailties and lack of clean sheets in recent matches make them vulnerable. | ||||
| Gemma 4 31B | ✓ | Senegal | 2–0 | 85% |
| Senegal is significantly stronger than Iraq, who have lost both group games. Despite their poor start, Senegal's individual quality should prevail against an Iraq side that has struggled to score. | ||||
| Kimi K2.6 | ✓ | Senegal | 2–0 | 78% |
| Senegal must win to keep faint last-16 hopes alive and faces an Iraq side missing its only scorer Aymen Hussein, while the Lions' attacking trio of Mané, Sarr and Jackson should exploit a fragile Iraqi defence. | ||||
